go with that approach
to a certain point 
til it gets too messy
but oh what a ride

don’t go backwards
can’t even fly
stuck behind it
most of your life

it’s problematic
how it resolves
whichever way sliced 
there are missing parts

problematic 
how we go out
contemplating the mystery
until its done

take another metaphor
slosh it around
drown it until
its color runs out

try it on 
in the light of day
wear it to work
others will  say

it’s problematic
to remind us
what we do 
where we find us

problematic 
to reflect
as it goes by
it catches our breath
